Goats in pajamas? Yes, please! 🐐📚

On Friday, Bradley Mountain Farm visited Imagine Nation for a special interactive “Goats N’ Pajamas” program provided in partnership with Thomaston Savings Bank! Children met Jasper the adorable goat, listened to Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book, and even had the opportunity to feed and accessorize their new four-legged friend.

Thank you to Bradley Mountain Farm for giving our children such a fun and memorable afternoon! 💙

Foam, fun, and LOTS of smiles! 🎉☀️

Yesterday, we shut down the parking lot and turned it into a foamy wonderland for our Early Learners! The kids danced, played, and laughed their way through mountains of foam, and had an absolute blast! 😄

🍋 Summer days are perfect for a lemonade stand!

Classroom 2A students squeezed fresh lemons, mixed the ingredients, and created their own sign. They then decided to share their homemade lemonade with the staff and students throughout the school!

What a refreshing summer treat and a wonderful hands-on learning experience centered around creativity, teamwork, and kindness. 💛

Classroom 2B students had a blast yesterday on their field trip to the Bristol Fire Station! 👨‍🚒

With the assistance of some of Bristol's finest, they learned how to man the fire hose, were taught how to use 911 responsibly, and got a special look inside some of the station's trucks. 🚒

Your child can have these exciting experiences too – register today at www.imaginenation.org and learn more ☀️ !

🎨🧶 At Imagine Nation, art is so much more than creating something beautiful, it's one of the many ways children learn.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, our Art Studio encourages children to explore, experiment, and express their ideas through open-ended experiences. Last week, our Early Learners practiced weaving on looms with Atelierista Ms. Karen, strengthening fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, and focus while discovering the joy of creating with their own hands.

These meaningful experiences are at the heart of our Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool, where creativity and curiosity guide every day of learning.

✨ Enrollment for our unique preschool is now open, but spots are filling quickly! Give your child the opportunity to learn, create, and thrive in an environment designed to inspire.

📞 Call (860) 314-1400 to learn more or schedule a tour today!

Creativity was in full swing at Imagine Nation! 🎨✨

We were thrilled to welcome the Leaders in Training from the Boys & Girls Club of Bristol into our Art Studio for a day of creativity and collaboration. Guided by Atelierista Karen and Museum Educators Kelly & Emma, the teens designed and created their own custom pillowcases and bags while exploring new artistic techniques.

Thank you to the Leaders in Training for spending the day with us. We loved seeing everyone's creativity come to life and hope to welcome you back again soon! 💙
